Community Action Network – Action Plan Template
Optional Planning Template/Tool
• Template is optional
• Purpose is to consider progress to date and plan for the next 12 months
• Organize and think through your CAN/CI efforts
• With the help of Tamarack, the CI-PLN Co-Facilitators adapted FSG’s Phases of Collective Impact document and then used that as a frame for the template
• We are interested in hearing your feedback and suggestions as you use the template. Just as CI is adaptive, so is the template
• Communicating your CI Journey
